Christina Collingwood , BACP

Christina Collingwood holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and practices in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, depression, and the challenges of major life changes, adapting her approach to the needs of each individual.

Christina also focuses on related difficulties such as dissociation, family problems, guilt and shame, questions about life purpose, obsessive-compulsive patterns, panic attacks, self-harm, sexual assault and abuse, women's issues, and workplace concerns. Her style is rooted in respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and she aims to create a therapeutic space that acknowledges each person's unique history and strengths.

Therapy with Christina is tailored to the specific goals and circumstances of the client, with an emphasis on listening and collaboration. She recognizes that taking the first step toward therapy takes courage and she affirms that choice, guiding clients through a process designed to address their immediate concerns while supporting longer-term coping and understanding.

Client-Centered and Trauma-Focused Care Delivered Online

Christina uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client leads the pace and focus of sessions. This approach emphasizes empathy, active listening, and respect for each person’s experience, and it can be helpful for people coping with stress, depression, life transitions, and relationship difficulties.

She also draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy to address the impact of traumatic events and abuse. This approach helps clients process difficult memories and manage symptoms related to trauma, working at a pace that feels manageable and safe for the individual.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Christina collaborates with each client to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Licensed professionals and therapists often combine elements from different approaches to tailor care to the person in front of them.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and to access support from home. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling and communication style, so clients can choose the way of working that feels most comfortable and practical for them.
